where can you find: lemon meringue pie in taipei?... or other American style pies

I finally made it to Jake's Country Cafe a few weeks ago (before I got hit up with just not feeling so hot and upset stomach and needing to lay in bed for 24 hours and sleep)... and now I am craving some Lemon Meringue Pie... They have it on the menu there, but just didn't have any that day. Boo hoo.

So my friends, where the heck can I get some Marie Callendar-esque lemon meringue pie? Fluffy white pillows uptop a sweet and sour lemon filling and graham crust.

You know who else has some amazing lemon meringue pie- Gulfstream in Los Angeles.

It's torture thinking about it actually. And I'm too lazy to make my own. So if anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd be so happy.

No lemon meringue on this list but I've had their pies before and they were good. I found a lady selling pies on the sidewalk near my neighborhood a few months back but she hasn't been back since. Then a coworker of mine said he saw the same lady (knew the name of the pie seller, Mom's Homemade American Style Pies) in a different part of Taipei. Was curious so I dug this up on the Net. http://www.taiwanho.com/talk/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1615&p=31319

Oh, forgot to mention, I know you've been to Macaroni Grill but have you tried their "Lemon Passion?" If you can't find a lemon meringue fix then this should be your next option. No meringue but once you dive into this lemon heaven you won't care.

billy: thanks for the comments!!! i actually like the lemon passion from mac grill a lot and had it about a week after my cravings.. lemony, but not the same! my friend actually found another lady/baker who does make good lemon meringue pie, so i will blog about that soon!
